As we have learnt

Limiting Friction -

Magnitude of limiting friction between any two bodies in contact is directly proportional to the normal reaction between them.

F_{l}\;\alpha\ R  or   f_{l}=\mu_{s}R

f_{l}= limiting friction 

\mu_{s}= coefficient of friction

R = reaction force

- wherein

*    Maximum value of static friction is limiting friction.

*     Direction is always opposite to relative motion.

 

 

In equilibrium,

m\omega ^{2}r=\mu mg

\mu=\frac{\omega ^{2}r}{g}

\omega=2\Pi v = 7\Pi rad/s

r=1.25cm;g=10

\mu = \frac{49x^{2}.1.25.10^{-2}}{10}=0.6
